In the U18 boy’s final on Sunday (Mar. 18), Team McCrady initially led 3–1, and it seemed as if they would be able to come back from a pair of close losses to Team Ballard during the the round robin and playoff games. But Team Ballard managed to recover, and inched out a 4–3 win.

They finished the tournament undefeated, with seven victories under their belts, and will move on to represent B.C. at the 2018 Canadian U18 Boys and Girls Championships. The national competition will take place between April 9 and 14 in St. Andrews, N.B., and the team has started fundraising for their cross-country trip to get to the Maritimes.

Team Ballard will be joined by Team Cotter, of the Vernon Curling Club, who will represent B.C. U18 women.
